i've been reading some discussions about worship this morning. the conflict over what goes on in a worship service still goes on! amazing. hymns, choruses, guitars, pianos, loud, reflective, traditional, comntemporary, what young people want, what older people want, the length of the sermon, the style of the sermon, the topioc of the sermon, the regularity of communion, the placement of communion, who serves communion, too much emphasis on the offering, not enough emphasis on the offering, clapping, no clapping, raising hands...i even read this morning about a pastor that was having conflict over where he wanted to place his pulpit...you gotta be kidding me!
here's my thought on worship today: if we spent more time on the quality and content of our worship on monday morning, rather than criticizing what happens on sunday morning, i think we would be a lot better off...
for the record, i'm grateful to be in a church family that doesn't major in minors when it comes to sunday mornings!
